Éire – Social research services – Request for Tender for the provision of a rapid evidence review in relation to confidence in maths among children and young people in Ireland with a particular focus on girls and young women

An bhfuil an Roinn ag iarraidh seirbhísí taighde ó chonraitheoirí (chomh maith le) atá comasach go leor chun athbhreithniú luachmhaireachta a dhéanamh i dtaobh muiníne i matamaitic i measc páistí agus ógánach in Éirinn, le speisialtacht ar mhuintir agus ógánach. Le haghaidh bhreithniú seo, tagann na téarmaí páistí agus ógánach agus mhuintir agus ógánach chun bheith i gcomhair foghlaimeoirí ón roinn chúram agus foghlaim luath (ELC) trí oideachas bunúsach agus oideachas i ndiaidh an phríomhoideachais. Dá bhrí sin, ba chóir don bhreithniú seo a bheith ag breathnú ar fhianaise i dtaobh muiníne i matamaitic agus luachmhaireacht, lena n-áirítear muinín na foghlaimeoirí féin, luachmhaireacht mhatamaiticeach na foghlaimeoirí, aghaidheanna ar mhatamaitic, agus a bheith sásta a bheith ag baint le foghlaim mhatamaiticeach ar fhad an chontúin oideachais, lena n-áirítear na pointeanna tráthúla agus tráthúla oideachais.

The Department is seeking research services from a suitably qualified contractor(s) to conduct a rapid evidence review in relation to confidence in mathematics among children and young people in Ireland, with a particular focus on girls and young women. For the purposes of this review, the terms children and young people and girls and young women refer to learners from the early learning and care (ELC) sector through primary and post-primary education. The review should therefore consider evidence relating to confidence in mathematics and numeracy, including learners' self-belief, mathematical self-efficacy, attitudes towards mathematics, and willingness to engage with mathematical learning across the continuum of educational provision, including key developmental and educational transition points.
